 Agree with you there hands down. Especially with the newer bracelet with brushed small links. |

Nice looking straps, I'm not a strap kinda guy but I want to get a couple just to have in case I ever have a bracelet problem.

I don't mind nato's on my Sub , but tried a couple on my Gmt (Pepsi) & changed them back in about 30 seconds . I just couldn't find a nato I like on it . I have lots , tried different colours but for me it is a model I prefer on steel .

Would have to agree - a NATO looks good on a Sub but would not be so keen on one on a GMT.

But with a Gmt you can use a jubilee . A sub , not so much . A datejust always steel or two tone even gold but never nylon . I guess there are unspoken rules of Rolex bands .

subs with SELs are safer on a metal bracelet, but i do like NATO straps.

I'm not a real fan of the Nato, but some love them. To each his own
